Modular construction covers a wide range of approaches, from panelised 2D elements to fully finished 3D volumetric modules. In all cases, a significant part of the construction process is shifted from the building site to a controlled production environment. The modules are then transported to site and carefully assembled to form a complete structure.
Modular construction combines precision manufacturing with construction expertise to deliver projects faster, with greater predictability and consistent quality. Factory-based production reduces exposure to weather delays, improves quality control, and supports more reliable project delivery.
This approach requires careful planning, particularly around logistics, transport and installation. It also places greater demands on critical interfaces such as joints, service penetrations and module connections, which must perform reliably throughout manufacturing, transport, installation and long-term use.
Tremco CPG supports modular construction with solutions designed for the applications and interfaces that are critical to building performance, efficiency and compliance. Our systems help streamline factory production while delivering reliable performance throughout the life of the building.
Successful modular construction depends on repeatability, precision and control. Many critical details are executed in a factory environment, often under fixed production sequences and time constraints. Errors at this stage are difficult and costly to correct later. Our approach focuses on:
By working with coordinated system solutions rather than isolated products, modular manufacturers, designers and contractors can achieve consistent performance, efficient workflows and reliable compliance across projects.
The high-performance and sanitary living system solutions for modular bathrooms and kitchens include films and waterproofing coatings, sanitary and special sealants in a wide range of colours, as well as high-tack and elastic assembly adhesives for load-bearing joints without mechanical fastening. Important: the products are easy and safe to apply.
Sanitary and Kitchen
Specialised transport and weather protection covers provide reliable protection for your components or modules during transport and storage. These reusable covers, tailor-made to your requirements, can be custom-printed. For temporary or long-term weather protection, large-format, vapour-permeable films offer a simple and efficient solution.
Weather and transport protection
The system solutions for internal and external wall surfaces include films and coating systems for a range of requirements. In addition to films for wind- and driving rain-tight, vapour-permeable sealing in external applications, or films for internal use ranging from vapour-retardant to vapour-tight, the system solutions are complemented by sealing coatings for internal and external use, available in sprayable or brush-on formulations.
Airtight and Waterproof Buildings
For fire compartmentation of pipe penetrations and electrical installations in walls and floors/ceilings, the product range includes tried-and-tested sealants, foams, and tapes for reliable structural fire protection.
Fire Protection
Certified floor coatings and specialist sealants provide complete cleanroom solutions for modular construction. Designed for demanding hygienic environments, the systems offer durability, compliance, and performance-enhancing features including abrasion resistance, electrical conductivity, and antimicrobial protection.
Cleanrooms
Windows and doors are often installed during factory production. Their connections must remain airtight, resistant to driving rain and acoustically effective throughout transport, installation and use.
Window and Door ConnectionsModular construction involves producing building elements or fully finished modules off-site and assembling them on location.
Typical challenges include airtightness at module interfaces, protection during transport, fire safety at penetrations and long-term durability.
